In 2026, the analog photo booth will celebrate its 100th anniversary, yet only about 200 functioning booths remain around the world today. Seattle is one of the lucky places where analog and digital photo booths still live side by side in bars as well as all-ages spaces across the city. Below are the top 10 photo booth spots Seattleites love, along with bonus roundups of even more local bars and non-bars where you can still snap a strip. (Prices listed when known.)
Bale Breaker & Yonder Cider Taproom
Located in Ballard, this taproom has a vintage analog photo booth originating from the late ’70s or early ’80s. That means you can expect your black and white photo strip to have a gorgeously soft vintage look to it.
Bait Shop
